Most played faction? - Page 2

Populations fluctuate throughout the normal cycle of a day. Expect a very even split on a NA server during NA prime time. No one really knows for sure what he population lockouts are going to be for PS2, but we do know it will be more then was in PS1.

Bottom line, play the faction you want to play, and play on a server cluster that provides the best average ping for your core players.

Play the faction your gonna enjoy. Don't worry about the pops as it has never really been a big issue.

As for the NC armor, I personally love the look of it so far. It fits the description of freedom fighters trying to salvage what they can to wage war. I'm sure the Rexo is gonna look awesome.

I never really was so much into the guerilla freedom fighters idea, but more for the "mercenaries for the CEOs of the old terran companies" kinda thing, which is why I sorta wanted a bit less worn out gear

Yeah, I can see the whole mercenary thing to. The corporations where helping out according to the storyline. I think what would be nice is if you started out with new gear and it got beat all to hell the longer you stayed alive. Sort of like how the Vanguard looked after it just got shot all up.

Overall populations have never been a problem in Planetside. Occasionally a population will be down 5-10% but that's usually it, and it will always fluctuate a bit. There was a day or two when one empire would be severely out matched, but then major incentives kick in, and it's over in a few hours

Hmm thats a nice change to hear. Hey Conq looks like we are going to have to do alot of reading on guns/armor game mechanics because unfortunately I never played PS1 due to be a console gamer in those days.

I tried to play it back in the day but I lived out in the "kountry" and 14k on dialup was the best connection I could get.
